Krampus: The Christmas Devil - Critique

Cinematography
Camera shakes too much - looks homemade
OTS too blocked
Way too many close ups - blocks out characters
Out of focus
3 way conversation blocking is ineffective
No wide shots

Mise-en-scene
Two policemen costumes look nothing like police
Poor lighting all the time

Editing
Weird, unnecessary effects
Loads of dips to black
Jarring cuts to colour
Very fast paced editing
Flashback should be from his perspective
Phone conversation doesn't cross cut, no cutting in general

Sound
Music doesn't fit scene
Music changes in scenes
Dialogue at different levels
Lack of music
Sound levels wrong, cuts out jarringly
